@ceejay78: Seriously. For a site that has Unprofessional Fridays as a main selling point, it strikes me as strange that so many users find the end segment so detestable.
@gschmidl: Are you kidding? These events are basically devolve into a party every night once the work is done. I can't remember where he said it, but Jeff talked about how he had to stop drinking at E3 because it was getting so bad. Hell, my friend was there last summer and saw an IGN worker stoned out of their mind one night.
Giant Bomb is doing great work getting all of these industry vets on for sure, but I guarantee that nobody gives a single shit that these guys get together and let their hair down. They may not be your cup of tea, and that's fine, but to assert that because they choose to drink and joke with their friends on an after-hours podcast is somehow indicative of their trustworthiness or conmpetency is laughable.
Listening to Brad mashing R1 is disappointing. Three episodes in and he hasn't realized that you need patience more than anything. I never want to believe people when they say he's bad but goddamn that audible R1 spam is a compelling argument. I hope as this progresses he figures it out.
This just seems like a system where you gather resources before storming a castle (the dragon, the tiger, etc.) which play out in a similar way to mass effect where it just checks if you've done a certain thing and then throws them in during the fight.
